Playstation Vita: Who's getting one?

[alexwagner]

This piece of kit goes from strength to strength granted we don't know everything about it yet but with a $250 price point, $40 games and being region free that's all I needed to hear. I will be enjoying Uncharted Golden Abyss day one! I also feel the OLED tech is being understated. People have to see OLED's insane contrast ratio's, inky blacks and flawless motion in person to appreciate it. As soon as I got my Galaxy S (4" AMOLED) I knew Sony made a fantastic choice.

I'm impressed with the machine, and after seeing a few of the games, I'm down. Uncharted: Golden Abyss is the big decider for me, as the series is one of my faves of this generation, but Dragon's Crown and Ruin have also helped to sell me.

First I've heard of it. Is this the next-gen PS3? And if so will it be backward-compatible (as the PS3 should have been)?

It is the successor to the PSP Josh. Backwards compatibility is in I assume from PSN downloads as they have ditched UMD. They have said the original PSP games will be 'enhanced' but they haven't specified as to how.

Support for both Analog sticks and upscaled resolution - basically the same titles that are being given the same treatment on PS3 this year and next.

Ah, thanks to both. I haven't used a handheld gaming system since my Tyco football game where each player was represented with the following high-def figure:
